SPLIT
Adds points along an element at fractions of its length, and cuts it into pieces there.
Syntax
SPLIT @e,count
SPLIT @e,[position,position,…]
| Argument | Meaning |
|---|---|
| @e | The element. |
| count | How many equal pieces: 3 cuts it into thirds. |
| position | A fraction of the way along: 0 the start, 1 the end, 1/2 half way. With $ in front, from the end: $1/4 is a quarter of the way back from the end. |
Examples
LINE @1,P0,P1
SPLIT @1,3
P4=[250,0]
ARC @1,P1,P4,P0,TRUE
SPLIT @1,[1/4,$1/4]
Notes
The new points follow the element: on a line or arc they are worked out from its points, on other curves defined on the element itself. A line, arc or circle that nothing else refers to is deleted, its pieces on its points; anything else is kept on the Construction layer, and its pieces are new elements defined on it.
